American offering double redeemable miles to Tokyo Haneda and Shanghai

American is offering double miles on all coach fares and triple miles on first and business class fares on their new routes between New York and Tokyo Haneda as well as Los Angeles and Shanghai. The promotion for the Tokyo Haneda flight is valid for travel between February 18 and May 31 and requires registering with promotion code NYHND. The promotion for the Shanghai flight is valid for travel between April 5 and June 30 and requires registering using code LAPVG.

Given that American currently has roundtrip base fares of around $600 between New York and Tokyo, this might not be a bad deal for a long weekend away (especially if you have eVIPs).
